A cannabis farm has been found in a former pub in Great Yarmouth.
Officers from Norfolk Police were called at 3.17am yesterday to an address on Howard Street South following reports of a cannabis farm.
When officers arrived at the scene, they discovered over 300 cannabis plants.
Three men in their 20s, one man in his 30s and a man in his 40s were all arrested at the address in connection with the incident.

Local officers have been at the site throughout the morning clearing the property and seizing the plants. Enquiries are ongoing.
The building, believed to be the former Oakwood pub, is now permanently closed and was well-known as a popular live music venue during its heyday.
It is the second such discovery this week after officers were alerted on Monday March 2 to a disused hotel on Marine Parade, where 200 young cannabis plants had been growing.
Last year Great Yarmouth Borough Council approved a bid to build six houses on land at the back of the former Oakwood pub.
